Why is Fortnite dying you might ask? Fortnite is a extremely popular video game that was released to the public in 2017, but until then only the version of the save the world was out. The thing that really got the gaming world in a frenzy was the battle royale version, which pits 100 players at the very most against each other. And as the match draws longer so does the map and that creates a very tense setting where players will undoubtedly fight each other. The battle royale genre was not first introduced through Fortnite but a couple of other games before that, but it just so happens that the battle royale genre was definitely enhanced due to Fortnite’s rapid success. Unfortunately, as the days go on new challenges approach it that apprehend further success. 

The game has been going through a  stage where the player base is really dropping, whether it is because of how long the game has been out or some new competition is what we will find out. Some surprising facts about Fortnite tells the story of a world in which 98% of the human population has disappeared and those that remain are under constant threat from zombies, called “husks,” that descend upon the earth from overhead storms. It was nominated game of the year for 2018 because of how popular the game as become. 

And in the next couple of weeks Fortnite will reach the 8 billion dollar mark for their company which is going to be a huge stride for them. All of these facts are statistical as all you have to do is search them and you’ll find multiple articles talking about it. However, times have come and the game is definitely losing it’s thunder due to many reasons. The amount of ridiculous stuff that they add into the game makes it so that the game is indeed unfair and pointless. Fortnite added additions to the game that in no way we’re needed and seen as a way to hype players up for nothing. The planes are one example for this, they do offer a great deal of transportation and viability but to the other play in turn it is overpowered and unfair. 

If an airplane rams into you and shoots you twice you will indefinitely. But to the most beloved weapons of the game like drum guns they were completely vaulted and removed from the game entirely. Like when Fortnite removed double pumping the community was full of rage and thought that the drum gun was a great addition to the game and the way it sounded was extremely satisfying, but the developers thought it was “too” good and had it removed. Apex Legends is a new game that has taken the gaming community by storm.

It takes references from both Overwatch and Fortnite, along with one of their own titles, “Titanfall”. Whenever you win a game in Apex it says that u are a champion and this is derived from when in Fortnite it says Victory Royale. Fortnite game developers paid lots of money to Fortnite Twitch streamers so that they could stream their game. This in turn became the turning point for Apex where tons of people were starting to play the game, it seemed to get lots of attention and the community was loving it, they basically used Fortnite popularity to their advantage.
